Save & Manage Timers
Why Save Timers?
Saving timers makes sense when you use the same countdowns repeatedly. Regular streamers can save their break timers, e-commerce sites can save sale countdown templates, and event organizers can save recurring event timers.
| What Gets Saved | Details |
|---|---|
| Duration/Target | Complete time configuration preserved |
| Design Choices | Colors, fonts, layout |
| Configuration | All settings and options |
Saving Your First Timer
Creating your first saved timer follows a simple process:
- Configure Your Timer - Create and design your timer in the editor until you're satisfied with how it looks and behaves
- Click Save - Click the save button in the editor interface
- Name It - Give your timer a descriptive name like "Stream Break 10min" or "Product Launch Countdown"
- Done - Your timer is permanently stored with a stable display URL
After saving, your timer is permanently stored in your account. You can close the editor, log out, or switch devices, and your timer remains available whenever you need it.
Accessing Your Timer Dashboard
Navigate to the Timer Dashboard to see all your saved timers. This dashboard shows every timer you've created, organized by when you last modified them.
| Dashboard Feature | What You See |
|---|---|
| Timer List | All saved timers in one place |
| Timer Names | Your custom descriptive names |
| Timer Types | Countdown or CountTo indicators |
| Last Modified | When each timer was last updated |
You can quickly scan through your collection to find the timer you need without opening each one individually.
